Chocolate chip walnut cookies

Chocolate chip walnut cookies

From here

1 c butter, softened
1 c granulated sugar
1 c brown sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
3 c flour
1 tsp baking soda
2 tsp hot water
1/2 tsp salt
2 c semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 c chopped walnuts

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Cream together the butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Dissolve baking soda in hot water. Add to batter along with salt. Stir in flour, chocolate chips, and nuts. Drop by large spoonfuls onto ungreased pans. (I always use parchment paper  anyway to make cleanup easier.)

Bake for about 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until edges are nicely browned.
